Giant
A giant looming suddenly foretold a great struggle with those who oppose you. Should it block your way, the enemy prevails; should it flee from you, prosperity and health are yours. The size of the thing is the size of the contest. Sometimes the dream asks whether you'll be halted by what towers over you, or watch it run.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for giant, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a giant appearing suddenly before you, denotes that there will be a great struggle between you and your opponents. If the giant succeeds in stopping your journey, you will be overcome by your enemy. If he runs from you, prosperity and good health will be yours.
Fontaine, 1862
If a lady dreams of seeing a very large man, or giant, and if she is pleased with his appearance, it shows that her future husband will be a small fellow, or else a man of small intellect: if she is disgusted with the giant, it is a sign that she will marry such a man herself, or else a man of great mind. For married people to dream of giants shows a prospect of smart children.
